The squash made its appearance in
market some time ago but it may not be
too late to say word about it. The South
now raises very nearly all the squashes
for the early Northern market. They are
shipped to New York from Savannah, and
little later from Norfolk. The squash
Is a rank feeder and sends down root
from every joint of the vine, hence the
soil should be made rich all over; and if
the land was not heavily MANFRED early
in the spring it will help along the crop
very much to spread some fine manure or
phosphate between the rows, and work it
in with the pillow and cultivator after re-
moving the early crop. The vines should
not be disturbed much after they begin to
run, but if the cultivator has been worked
freely before this time they will run and
cover the land so rapidly that there will
not be many weeds to pull unless the
vines fall from the attack Of insects, as
they sometimes do.
Squashes are best stored in dry loft or
dry airy cellar provided with stove
where the temperature ranges from 40
degrees to 60 degrees. They are usually
piled two tiers deep upon loose system
OF shelves three feet apart. The sQuashes
in store Will need to be looked over every
ten days, TO pick out the specked ones,
which are 5aeabe at trifie less than
sound ones, but if left will speedily decay
and spread the rot to those touching

Something About Celery.

Mr.. j. 5. W alderman, In an article in
the Florida Agriculturist, says that more
failures have, perhaps, been made in at
tempting to procure good celery in Florida
than with any other vegetable. The rea-
son Of this is obvious. The celery must
have water in the greatest abundance.
Another reason why the Florida grown
celery, as a rule. is tough and difficult to
bleach is that, owing to the porous char
acter OF the soil, it but poorly excludes
the rays OF the sun, which will in very
short time give it the undesirable green
tint.
II you cannot irrigate do not try to
grow celery; in the next place, do notify
to bleach it, if you have not given tena-
city to your soil by the application OF
clay and ashes, and without bleaching
celery Ia worth no more than a common
green weed. First of oil prepare your
land by applying clay, ashes and we'll
rotted animal manure; be careful and do
not apply too much manure and too little
ashes. Sow your seed in seed bed and
keep well watered until they come up;
make little drills three feet apart and in
tu6b6 Scb yOuE pIdHbs bWSlNO luCu6b
apart; press the soil firmly around the
roots OF the plants and give them water;
tor a month no cultivation, save to keep
the plants free from weeds, is necessary,
but during that month give them all the
water you can spare. At the end OF that
time the bleaching process must COM
mence. Work must now be commenced
in earnest, for in this matter eternal vigil
lance is the price OF handsome celery.
The first operation Is to draw the soil
firmly around the plants with a hoe and
press 1t there with the hands, and have
the stems and leaves in an upright posi-
ton, aud let the soil be firmly packed,
not only around the stems but between
the stems, leaving only the top of the
leaves exposed to the light and air. In
few weeks after this operation take a
spade and throw more earth around the
plants and pack it thoroughly. 1t would
take several columns to discuss the sub
ject properly; we have attempted to give
a few important hints which. il folio wed,
we believe will prove satisfactory to the
gardener.

Care of Trees Before Planting.

Care of Trees Before Planting.
Thousands of trees, says w. d. Boynton
In the Practical Farmer, are lost by iDju-
dicious treatment or lack of care between
the times of receiving and planting. Trees
packed for shipment by experienced aud
honest nurserymen are usually so put up
that they will keep in good condition for
a considerably longer time than is de-
manded by prompt transportation. Where
The combined purchases of a whole neigh
0orhoOd come in single shipment 1t is
not an uncommon occurrence for the large
box or boxes to lie at the depot for several
days awaiting the arrival of the deliver
ing agent. This is no help to the trees, to
be sure, and when they lie on the sunny
side OF platform two or three weeks, as
is sometimes the case, a serious loss &C.
ours.
The man who purchases trees should
insist upon having mis- lot packed sepa-
rately, that he may not be obliged to wait
the motions OF others. Whether he buys
from travelling agent or directly from
NASOA AAohJ NC upOu
thls method of shipment. Ii he sends in
MS own order to the nurseryman direct,
ne would OF course receive his trees sep.
arately, which adds another to the strong
list OF reasons for purchasing direct from
the grower. And if the shipment is
small one it can be sent by express at
shghtly Increased cost to the purchaser.
lhis is another great advantage, for ex-
press shipments come through almost as
quickly as the mails, SO that trees are not
liable to damage in transit.
Now If the trees come a little early
'and that is vastly preferable to having
tnem come little late) take the bundle,
large trees, apart, dip the roots in thick
uud and bury root and half the top or
such matter in the earth until ready TO
pant Ii the ground Is frozen store the
trees In cellar and cover the mudded
'oOts with dirt and sand. IL the trees are
small, say under Is inches, such as are
now commonly handled, especially Of
crest trees, the little bundles need not

uipped in mud may be half buried same
As large trees.
"nen the weather is cool and, conse-
Fuehtly no danger of heating exists, the
lux OF package may be stored in a cold
cellar for a few days without disturbing
.ue original packing. AS rule, how
e'er' II Is best TO give the first mentioned
Treatment.
H'ergreens and deciduous forest trees
may be planted much earlier than most
rr.op'e imagine. Do not be afraid OF a

II is good for farmers to be told once n
while what constitutes successful
farmer. The following "chunks of WIS
dom" from the New York Star may not
be without their benefit to those who
grasp and digest them. You want to
know what you do and how you do it.
The successful farmer stands in this DO
sition In relation to his farm, his crops,
his tools, his labor, his income and his
expenses.
Hets smart enough to know that agri.
cultural books and papers, farmers clubs
and gatherings, give him the knowledge
he must have to work to advantage.
He works no more land than he can fer
tilize we'll and cultivate properly.
He does nothing simply because others
have done it before him; but he has a
good reason for whatever plan he would
carry out.
He never uses inferior seed because
they are cheaper, but secures the best
and takes plenty Of time to get them, that
they may be on hand when wanted.
He plans his work beforehand, and to
get good help gives two or three dollars a
month more than common hands demand
and so saves many a dollar during the
year in extra help, in waste, in delay and
in ruined implements.
He keeps no useless and Improbable
stock, but turns off such and replaces
them with the best breeds.
He watches what market demands and
raises a variety to meet such demands !;
thus be is sure of some prof table crop and
can depend upon an income.
He reads and studies, and is able to use
used, thus dispensing with much of the
heavy toll and drudgery.
His eyes will see the possibilities of a
swampy field, and by drainage will make
it the most productive part of the farm.
He devotes select portions to a variety
of permanent crops-the apple, the pear,
the peach, the ounce, the currant, the
gooseberry, the small fruits generally
the rhubarb, the asparagus. He depends
upon no one especially.
Perhaps he has also his carp pond, his
bees and his poultry. Permanent crops
lessen his labor and the variety wards of
serious losses.
He realizes from the beginning that
crops must be fed, and does not expect to
keep land productive unless he gives to it
as we'll as takes from it.
He works by a system, but it is sys-
tenn that is elastic, bending to emergen-
cies, taking the advantage promptly OF
favorable circumstances, governed by a
skillful. industrious, master mind.
He is successful, as matter of course.
Everything about him shows it. His neat
buildings, his clean yards, his substantial
horses. his sleek cattle, his contented and
happy family.
We call no man successful II he fails to
make everything around him happy from
the chickens which flock to his call to the
dear ones who gather around the table in
the evening in loving cOntentment and
peaceful Joy.

Mulberry Wine.

The Florida Dispatch says that never
before IN Florida was there such an i'm
mense crop OF mulberries. They are now
ripe and ought to be made use Of. They
can be used to great advantage. 1t has
been demonstrated the mulberry can b Q
made quite profitable with small outlay
of capital, and with but little labor, by
converting them into wine. The following
is an excellent receipt for the same: Ex-
tract the Juice from the berriesl and strain
thoroughly. To every gallon OF juice add
one gallon of water, and TO each gallon o
tho mixture add two and half pounds OF
loaf sugar; fill a cask TO the bunghole,
and as the fermentation throws of the
"rilings," refill with water and keep II
full. After fermentation has ceased, say
in i've or ak weeks, close the bunghole
and let IL stand for about six months;
then place In bottles, cork and seal them
well.

Exhausting the Soil.

It is rather remarkable how closely the
Amount of fertility that is taken from the
soil by different crops is estimated. The
Philadelphia Record has some excellent
nojuts on this subject. 1t says that the
loss of fertility in the soil depends en-
tirely upon the kind OF crop growing
thereon: and the soil is improved or i'm
poyerished in certain period OF time
corresponding with the available and
inert matter it contains and the growth
Of the plants which remove the fertilizing
materials Some crops enrich the soil in
one respect and impOverish it IN another
by utilizing greater proportion OF some
kinds of plant food while rejecting others,
thus causing a gradual accumulation OF
some particular substance which is not
required for growth. This Is shown by
the growth of clover, which adds nitrogen
70 the soil though removing other ele-
ments. The loss by soils does not depend
upon the amount of plant food removed.
but upon the value thereof; and the loss
does not really occur by growing the crop
upon the land, but by removing it from
~
produced the fertillzing elements are In
the skim. milk, and not in the cream, and
when the manure is scattered on the land
and the milk fed to calves and pigs the
loss is small, as butter is really produced
from the air, through the crop. Butter
being composed mostly of carbon, which
is derived from the air by plants in the
move any of the substances existing in
the soil. 1t has been estimated that 300
pounds OF butter, when sold off the farm,
carries away only 80 cents worth of plant
food, and the carcass of an OK or horse
SO worth of plant food, while a crop OF
wheat, valued at 5000, causes loss Of
nearly $50 worth of plant food. If all the
crops be fed to stock on the farm and the
manure carefully saved the loss Is in pro-
portion to the amount. and kind of mate
rial sold, which loss may be modified ac-
cordng to the form into which the salable
article has been changed. Cheese and
milk take away the most valuable ele-
ments, vet these articles do not command
as high prices IN the market as butter,
which costs hut very little in the shape of
fertilizers. Ii the land be cropped the
kind Of fertilizers to be applied should
correspond as nearly as possible to that
which is sold rather than to that which
Is produced in order to avoid loss OF fer
Utility. When crops are sold the nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, potash and lime are re-
moved, but when the sales are made in
the shape Of animals the potash remains
mostly in the manure. Nitrogen aud the
phosphates are essential under all sys-
TENS, and every pound Of fertilizer APP
piled is simply storing it in the soil to be
converted into some other form best
adapted for market, whether animal or
vegetable.
